Page 2 TOWN OF VAIL� PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION February 11, 2013 at 12:OOpm TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS / PUBLIC WELCOME 75 S. Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 MEMBERS PRESENT Bill Pierce Henry Pratt Luke Cartin Pam Hopkins Susan Bird John Rediker Michael Kurz MEMBERS ABSENT Noon: Joint PEC/DRB meeting: Jeff Winston Presentation on Vail's Development History DRB Members present Rollie Kjesbo Tom DuBois Brian Gillette Jeff Winston gave a power point presentation highlighting the development of Vail Village and the Design Guidelines. He spoke to the challenge of being able to keep Vail unique and special and not let it become like everywhere else, which is the tendency of development and architecture. He spoke to the facade material, stucco, being a signature of Vail architecture. Commissioner Kurz spoke to his concern about West Vail commercial area and the need to get back to creating a neighborhood with a Vail identity. Jeff Winston spoke to the planning effort that had previously occurred in West Vail and the importance of structured parking being a key to a successful redevelopment of the area. Dr. Steinberg inquired as to how much of the success of Vail is the result of having planning very early in the development of the community. Jeff Winston stated it was integral to the success of Vail. Having a plan and a direction allowed for a comprehensive approach. Joe Batcheller, resident and planner, inquired as to a viable solution to strengthen the pedestrian connection between Vail Village and Lionshead. Jeff Winston responded to the challenges and that it can be strengthened over time through design. Jim Lamont spoke to the question of pros and cons of having differing commercial cores. Pam Hopkins spoke to her biggest regret being the loss of the Eldon Beck designed steps from the Village Parking structure. Page 1 Jeff Winston spoke to the loss of the Vail Village Parking Structure steps in agreement and some of the architectural elements in Solaris that were not implemented. The more a community has mixed messages the more likely it will end up as anywhere. Jim Lamont asked Jeff to speak to the incorporation of landscaping in a commercial pedestrian village. Jeff Winston spoke to the location of planters adjacent to the buildings or in close proximity. Planters were then pulled away from the windows so customers could look into storefronts. Landscaping is an important element in the fabric. Planter placement is crucial to balance the need for softscape and to allow for window shopping. Site Visit: No site visits 1. A request for a work session to discuss the Vail Village Character Study, an initiative to examine the Town's current regulations, design standards and guidelines applicable to Vail Village to determine whether they are sufficient to ensure the special character of Vail Village is not just maintained but also enhanced. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: Warren Campbell Warren Campbell introduced the project. Tom Braun gave a power point presentation detailing the Vail Village Character Preservation. Mery Lapin, resident, spoke to the economic realities of development in the future which is more building bulk and mass, reduced setbacks, and increased site coverage. He spoke to the Special Development District (SDD) process and the need for the reviewing boards to think into the future. He is concerned about potential redevelopment outcomes in the core of the Village. There is going to be great pressure to increase height in the Village core. He spoke to his belief that the Mountain Haus, Lodge at Vail Tower and Solaris as being mistakes. The Town has maybe evolved to a point where SDDs should not be permitted in the Village. He spoke to the creation of a historic overlay over a certain area which restricts size and architecture. He spoke to his recollection of how Bridge Street got its curve (costs of building the bridge and the predetermined location of the lifts). Commissioner Kurz spoke to his concern with the outcome that occurred in Solaris. The process needs amending as the natural and built environments need to work together. It is important to keep Vail's brand into the future. He suggested amending the Master Plan to include more salient descriptions of what we want. The Master Plan and Design Guidelines are vague and need to be more descriptive. Clear more descriptive language is needed to help the boards to accomplish the desired outcomes. He does believe a few projects have gotten away from the community. Commissioner Rediker spoke to his belief that the need to identify if there is a problem with the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines. He spoke to his believe that there are tools in place and are adequately addressing the Village. He would like to get to the discussion of the perceived problems so that they can be identified if there are any. Commissioner Bird spoke to the scale of some of the new buildings and that they don't quite fit in. Maybe a historic district overlay is appropriate. Page 2 Commissioner Pratt spoke to this effort occurring every ten years. SDDs, he believes, are appropriate and Solaris was a political statement and resulted in two stories more in height than it probably should have been. He spoke to a need to expand the extents of the Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines. He added that the municipal building and medical office building were not Vail. Commissioner Cartin spoke to the difficulty in putting ones finger on the specifics of what is great about Vail. You know it when you see it. We need to admit when we make a mistake, and learn from them. He spoke to the need to look at the extents of the applicable area for the Vail Village Master Plan. Should fire Station No. 2 be included in the Master Plan area? Need to look at the long term needs of the Village and what works and there needs to be a balance between the Master Plan and Guidelines that allows for flexibility in architectural design but incorporates those elements that make a project Vail. Commissioner Hopkins spoke to the efforts over the years to address newspaper boxes and the effort now to address recycle which was not anticipated. She asked how the Town would want to address solar panels in the Village. Commissioner Pierce stated he had nothing to add but felt that his fellow commissioners had great passion which he was excited to see. Brian Gillette, DRB member, asked those in the audience to raise there hand if the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines were not achieve the desired outcomes. Upon seeing the hands (approximately 1/3) he concluded that in a larger part the guidelines were working but probably needed refinement. 2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a major amendment to a Special Development District, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to amend Special Development District No. 37, Tivoli Lodge, to amend the approved development plan to increase gross residential floor area and site coverage and amend the approved setbacks, located at 386 Hanson Ranch Road/ Lot E, Block 2, Vail Village 5th Filing, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130002) Applicant: Robert Lazier Planner: Rachel Dimond ACTION: Recommendation of approval MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Rediker VOTE: 6-0-1(Pierce recused) CONDITION(S): 1. This approval includes two amended plan sheets A4.0 and A5.4 dated February 8, 2013. 2. The applicant shall receive permission from the adjacent property owner (Vail Associates) for access for construction in conjunction with any building permits. 3. Approval of an amendment to the SDD is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of the associated design review application. Rachel Dimond gave a presentation per the staff memorandum and a power point to aid in the understanding of the request before the Commission. Staff received several amended elevations just prior to the meeting and a letter from the Villa Valhalla HOA. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to how the roof form was being amended that might affect the views from Villa Valhalla. He stated that it did not appear that the overall roof form was being adjusted. He asked if staff understood how the incorporation of dormers would affect the views. He then asked about staff's recommendation on the roof form on the office addition. Page 3 Rachel Dimond explained the height would not be changed and views should not change as a result of the proposed changes. Robert Lazier gave a presentation on the goals he is trying to accomplish through the application. He added that the design of the dormers on the roof should not have any impact on the views from Villa Valhalla. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the adequacy of parking and how it works for the site. Robert Lazier explained how parking works on site and stated there is adequate parking most of the time. There was no public comment. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to any needed changes to the draft ordinance based on the changes proposed by staff. Rachel Dimond stated no changes would be necessary except to amend the exhibit on the ordinance. Commissioner Pratt inquired as to what was occurring on the top of the conference space. He also inquired as to the space created by the north dormer. Robert Lazier explained a flat roof area would be on top of the conference space and that storage would be expanded by the change to the dormer. Commissioner Pratt was comfortable with the parking situation remaining as is, the north dormer appeared to dominate the architecture and there were easier ways to address snow control. He believed a there was missed opportunity to include a roof top patio for a unit above the conference space. 3. A request for the review of a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses; Generally (On All Levels of a Building), Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of a public park and recreation facilities (playground) at Sundial Plaza located within the Lionshead th pedestrian mall/Tract C, Lionshead 6 Filing, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120050) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Gregg Barrie Planner: Rachel Dimond ACTION: Approved with conditions MOTION: Rediker SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-1-0 (Kurz opposed) CONDITION(S): 1. The associated Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan amendments shall be adopted by the Vail Town Council prior to construction of a public park and recreation facility. 2. This conditional use permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of the associated design review application. Rachel Dimond gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Gregg Barrie gave a presentation on the changes made to the application as a result of the previous discussions with the Commission. He discussed the outcome of a conversation that had occurred with the Vail Town Council regarding the pop jet fountain. Page 4 Commissioner Bird inquired as to the pathways and walkways. Gregg Barrie spoke to a conversation where Vail Town Council asked that the minimum amount of snow melt be incorporated. He showed which pathways would be heated. There was no public comment. Commissioner Hopkins inquired as to the railing being used to access the nests. Gregg Barrie spoke to the handrail design. Commissioner Cartin inquired as to any increased liability in the winter time when snow and ice cover the impact absorbing wood chips. Gregg Barrie stated he had spoken with the Town Attorney and the Town did not have any liability issues in the winter. Commissioner Kurz stated he is not in support of the conditional use permit as it will not enhance the character of the area because of noise from the tot lot. He clarified that a park was appropriate but not a tot lot. 4. A request for the review of amendments to a conditional use permit for a "public and private parks and active outdoor recreation areas, facilities and uses", pursuant to Section 12-16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of various improvements at Ford Park (Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater social courtyard, box office improvements, Betty Ford Way improvements, Betty Ford Alpine Garden expansion, new Betty Ford Alpine Gardens Alpine Education Center, nature trail, riparian restoration, playground restrooms) located at 530, 540, and 580 South Frontage Road East/ Unplatted, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130004) Applicant: Vail Valley Foundation, Betty Ford Alpine Garden and Town of Vail, represented by Zehren & Associates Planner: Rachel Dimond ACTION: Tabled to February 25, 2013 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 7-0-0 Rachel Dimond gave a presentation per the staff memorandum highlighting the elements of Phase 2 of the ford Park Improvements and some initial concerns of staff. Pedro Campos, representing the multiple applicants, gave an overview of Phase 1 which is underway and the elements that will be discussed during the presentation. He spoke to the multiple improvements proposed in conjunction with Phase 2. A 3D model was utilized to depict the Social Courtyard. West Betty Ford Way Comments: Commissioner Cartin asked about loading and delivery from Phase 1 and the impacts of a truck driving through a Ford Family Tribute. Harry Frampton, Vail Valley Foundation, stated that there were approximately 5 trucks a year that would need to drive through. Page 5 Diana Donovan, Vail resident, inquired as to whether or not the retaining wall was going to be finished on East Betty Ford Way. She spoke to a need to keep the nature center bridge in a Vail style, adding that the bridge does not need to be gussied up to match the amphitheater. Commissioner Hopkins stated that she agreed with the bridge remaining simple in design. Dr. Steinberg, Vail resident, felt as though the sides of the bridge obstructed views to the creek. He believed that it should be improved. He added some history to the purchase of Ford Park and the abuses that have occurred over time. The worst thing the Town did was remove the most beautiful wild flower area in town (slope from Gore Creek up to the existing parking lot) by dumping snow and gravel on the slope. He objects to more buildings being added in the park. He regrets allowing the old school house being moved into the park as it has created a situation where more buildings are requested. Commissioner Bird inquired as to the need for a BFAG building as there is a nature center already across the bridge. She spoke to the fact that there was a natural beach below the nature center bridge and the need to keep access for runners to soak their feet. Social Courtyard comments: Commissioner Rediker asked for an exhibit showing how the tensile covering of the courtyard impacts views to the east when walking through the park. He inquired as to the longevity of the material and tendency of the material to become stained. He cited DIA as an example of stained covering which does not appear to be standing the test of time. Commissioner Hopkins spoke to a concern with the covering material not allowing for air flow and becoming a heat trap. She is concerned about an element in the center of the courtyard dividing the space and the impacts to events being held in the tent. Pedro Campos stated he would return with some layouts for events. He added more analysis is necessary and the comment was appropriate. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the current use of the AIPP cottage. Pedro Campos clarified that the cottage is used for storage. Kurz continued that the Ford Family Tribute needs to be prominent and it seems insignificant in the social courtyard. Todd Oppenheimer spoke to the AIPP recommendation to Vail Town Council of keeping the art shack and figuring out a use for it. Commissioner Cartin spoke to a concern with pedestrian congestion in the area of the Social Courtyard when an event is occurring. Pedro Campos spoke to how access to the amphitheater would occur. Commissioner Cartin spoke to the color of the tensile fabric. He felt white would stick out. The color should be a muted neutral color. Commissioner Hopkins inquired further into access to the amphitheater and the provision of a covered area for those waiting for a lawn seat. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the number of events the Foundation would be holding in the courtyard. Page 6 Harry Frampton spoke to the Social Courtyard not being for donor events (that was interior to the amphitheater); it was for the general public attending events. Commissioner Pratt spoke to the importance to review how the tensile structure impacts on the garden to the west. He expressed a concern about the negative visual impacts to the garden caused by the tensile structure. He does not believe the Ford Tribute is appropriate in the Social Courtyard. It is too much for the space. He stated that the tensile cover does not cover the cueing area for the bag checkers into the amphitheater. He added that those covers tend to only come in white which he did not have a problem with. Diana Donovan, Vail resident, questioned the purpose of the cover and whether its impacts outweighed what it was trying to accomplish. It is a good enough reason to say no to the tensile covering because it was described as what they have at Aspen and Sun Valley. She added that if this happens we have lost the park. It will become a city park not a Vail park. The park is becoming very structured. These improvements are a "land grab" and an intrusion into the park. The hard surface of the amphitheater should be restricted to what is existing and not be expanded. Commissioner Pierce spoke to a need to ensure that the tensile cover does not shed water where the public enters the courtyard. Box Office Expansion comments: There was no Commissioner or public comment. Ford Family Tribute comments: Commissioner Pierce summarized comments previously heard and the inappropriateness of the tribute being located in the courtyard. It has negative impacts on the space. Commissioners Cartin and Pratt spoke to the impacts of the large heavy trucks driving through a Ford tribute. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked for an explanation on why there was a need for Ford Family Tribute when the park, amphitheater, and garden are all named after the Fords. Harry Frampton spoke to the goal of creating an element to convey the Ford Family story and its impacts on Vail. It would help visitors understand the importance of the Fords in Vail. Betty Ford Gardens Education Center comments: Commissioner Kurz spoke to a concern about the underutilized nature center and a general concern to the addition of yet another structure. The educational center adds congestion to an area that is become even busier. He believed other options should be explored verses construction of a new building. Commissioner Bird agreed and spoke to a need to improve on facilities that currently exist. Pedro Campos spoke to several covenants impacting what can be done at the nature center. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to comments on the plan referencing the riparian areas to be improved. He asked who would be in charge selecting the appropriate approach to the restoration. Page 7 Pedro Campos spoke to the involvement of the Town's Floodplain Coordinator and the Army Corps of Engineers. Commissioner Rediker spoke to the tree house idea as being interesting. He spoke to a need to maintain the buffer against the creek and has concerns about the tree house crossing the preservation line. He stated the slope adjacent to the parking lot should be explored for remediation. The town needs to lead the way and protect and restore the areas around Gore Creek. Nicola Ripley, executive director of the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, spoke to the education center becoming the heartbeat of the park every day as there are no other facilities open. She said this will not be just another building. After 25 years it is time for the Betty Ford Alpine Garden to have a building and a home. No other botanical garden operates without a building. The nature center has no plumbing or heating. The VRD has stated that there is no room at the tennis center for offices and the BFAG needs localized space. Commissioner Pratt inquired as to parking for the facility Nicola Ripley stated the garden employees will park in the tennis center parking lot Commissioner Pierce spoke to the general sentiment of the Commission and several members of the public to find ways to consolidate functions and uses into existing structures. Commissioner Cartin spoke to the apparent uncoordinated and disjointed uses and activities occurring in the park. He believes there needs to be more coordination of uses and functions in the park. Nicola Ripley spoke to the Master Plan amendments and how unfortunate it would be for the Gardens to not obtain a building. Susan Milhoan, Vail resident, spoke to Ford Park being a jewel. She spoke to Betty Ford's dream that the garden reached full ambiance and a building would help achieve that dream. She added she highly supports a new education center. Playground restroom comments: Commissioner Cartin thought the relocation was a positive. Commissioner Pierce spoke to a concern that this was another stand alone building and could it be sited differently into a hillside or wall. Commissioner Pratt expressed concern about the architecture and it not being Vail. Several other Commissioners agreed. Jim Lamont spoke to his concerns about the construction occurring in the Phase 1 project not being distinctive. Tom Steinberg spoke to the need to look at the river, not just the riparian areas. He pointed out several areas where gravel has collected causing the creek to become wider. Page 8 5.

Page 9 K) TOWN OF VAIL ' Memorandum TO: Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board FROM: Community Development Department DATE: February 11, 2013 SUBJECT: A request for a work session to discuss the Vail Village Character Study, an initiative to examine the Town's current regulations, design standards and guidelines applicable to Vail Village to determine whether they are sufficient to ensure the special character of Vail Village is not just maintained but also enhanced. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: Warren Campbell I. SUMMARY The purpose of this work session is to allow the applicant, Town of Vail, to introduce the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board to the initiative currently underway to address the following the statement: As buildings in the Village continue to redevelop or as other changes occur to the physical features of Vail Village, are the Town's current regulations, design standards and guidelines sufficient to ensure that the special character of Vail Village is not just maintained but also enhanced. Staff has provided links to the Vail Village Master Plan and the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan. II. BACKGROUND On February 18, 2009, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution No. 23, Series of 2008, a resolution that provided for certain updates to the Vail Village Master Plan. One of the more significant updates to the plan was the addition of an objective recognizing the "historic" importance of architecture, structures, landmarks, plazas and features with the goal of preserving the existing character of Vail Village. In addition, one new policy statement was added to the plan to further the newly stated objective. The policy statement was developed to guide the Town's decision-making in achieving each of the stated objectives, whether it be through the review of private sector development proposals or in implementing capital improvement projects. Finally, action steps were suggested as immediate follow-up actions necessary to implement the goals of this Plan. To that end, the Vail Village Master Plan was updated to include the following language: GOAL #1 ENCOURAGE HIGH QUALITY, REDEVELOPMENT WHILE PRESERVING UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL SCALE OF THE VILLAGE IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND IDENTITY. 1.4 Objective: (in part) Recognize the "historic" importance of the architecture, structures, landmarks, plazas and features in preserving the character of Vail Village. 1.4.1 Policy: The historical importance of structures, landmarks, plazas and other similar features shall be taken into consideration in the development review process. 1.4.2 Policy: The town should grant flexibility in the interpretation and implementation of its regulations and design guidelines to help protect and maintain the existing character of Vail Village. 1.4.3 Policy: Identification of "historic" importance shall not be used as the sole means of preventing or prohibiting development in Vail Village. GOAL #1 Action Steps: (in part) 6. Compile a list and develop a map identifying the location of potential structures, landmarks, plazas and other similar features that may be of historical importance. On October 18, 2011 the Vail Town Council discussed Vail Village Historic Preservation and Landmark Designation. As a part of the discussion information was provided on historic preservation, preservation programs, creation of historic districts, common property owner concerns regarding historic designation, possible benefits of a historic district, etc. At the public hearing the Vail town Council was asked to respond to the following question: Should Town staff pursue a public process with the community to discuss preserving and protecting historic structures and landmarks in Vail Village and implementing any regulatory tools that may be necessary to carry out the Town's development objectives? Town of Vail Page 2 The Vail Town Council directed staff to pursue an initiative to preserve and protect historic structures and landmarks in Vail Village. On November 20, 2012 the Vail Town Council was introduced to the Vail Village Character Study that staff and Tom Braun of Braun and Associates was beginning. At the hearing The Vail Town Council was asked to affirm "The Question at Hand" (question provide under summary section of this memorandum). The Vail Town Council affirmed the direction that the project would take and the question it would seek to answer. On February 7, 2013 several focus group sessions were conducted to obtain input and feedback on the initiative. As of the time this memorandum was included in the Planning and Environmental Commission packet the outcomes of the focus groups were not compiled to report out. III. RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission listens to the applicant's presentation, asks questions, and provides feedback. IV.

The SDD allowed for increased height, loading and delivery in the front setback and a deviation from required parking. The Tivoli Lodge provided one on- site employee housing unit, streetscape improvements, a paved walkway on Hanson Ranch Road and paid a transportation impact fee for increased vehicle trips. The Tivoli Lodge received their certificate of occupancy in 2005. On May 18, 2010, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2010, which allowed for the conversion of a meeting room to an accommodation unit.

APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Staff believes that the following provisions of the Vail Town Code are relevant to the review of this proposal (Note: Click on the underlined sections for links to the documents. You will need internet connection to access links): Vail Land Use Plan • Goals: 1.0 General Growth/Development & 3.0 Commercial Vail Village Master Plan • Goal #2: • East Village, Sub -Area (#7) Town of Vail Page 3 • #7-2 Tivoli Lodge Infill Title 12, Vail Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code • Chapter 12-1, Title, Purpose And Applicability • ARTICLE 12-9A: SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT (SDD) DISTRICT VII. REVIEW CRITERIA The Vail Town Code provides nine design criteria, which shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed major amendment to a Special Development District. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. Staff believes many of the proposed changes to building design are compatible and sensitive to the immediate environment, neighborhoods and adjacent properties. However, Staff believes the proposed first floor office addition on the north side and the change to the dormers on the north elevation are out of character and visual integrity with the rest of the building. The office addition creates a conflict with the adjacent entry as the new roofline is not architecturally compatible with the existing facade and changes the nature of the entry to the building. The flat roof dormer proposed on the north side of the building is uncharacteristic of the architectural character of the building and the varied architecture in the surrounding neighborhood. The dormer would fit the character of the building if it had a sloped roof form similar to the dormer on the south elevation. With these modifications, Staff believes the proposed dormer would comply with this criterion. B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Staff believes that the proposed additions to the existing accommodations unit, meeting room and office provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activities. There is a need for hot beds in this neighborhood, and this addition will help supply this need with a larger three bedroom suite. A larger meeting room improves a workable relationship between this building, Vail Village and the nearby ski mountain, as groups who visit Vail need a variety of meeting rooms for events. The neighborhood has similar uses Town of Vail Page 4 and density, which is compatible with the Tivoli Lodge. Staff believes the proposal meets this criterion. C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code. At the establishment of this SDD, a reduction in parking was provided, allowing 40 spaces instead of 48 spaces as required by Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code. In 2010, meeting space was converted to an accommodation unit, which reduced required parking to 47 spaces. Typically, when changes of use applications are submitted to the Town of Vail, parking is assessed for the change in use and not for the entire project. The proposed amendments would require an incremental 2 parking spaces. Because this is an SDD, an overall analysis was performed for parking on the overall site, resulting in a total of 51 required spaces for this site. Use Parking requirement Spaces required 1 DU 1.4 spaces/ DU 1.4 spaces 1 EHU 1.4 spaces/ DU 1.4 spaces 62 AU 0.7 spaces/AU 43.4 spaces 1,400 sq ft meeting room 1 space/330 sq ft 4.24 spaces TOTAL 50.44= 51 spaces The 40 spaces provided by this SDD (22 on site and 18 on Lot 3, First Amendment, Vail Village 5th Filing) would now create a deficit of 11 spaces. Therefore, the proposal requires increased deviation from the requirements of Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code. However, the meeting room space will likely be used by hotel guests or people who are walking or taking buses from other locations in Vail Village and Lionshead and would not generate a need for additional parking. Staff believes the existing 40 spaces is adequate for the Tivoli Lodge. D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan and Town policies. Staff believes that this application complies with certain elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan and Town policies. Specifically, the application complies with the Vail Village Master Plan, which states "the development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged." Further, this application meets the goals of the Vail Land Use Plan, including accommodating "most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas)." The Vail Land Use Plan also calls for hotels to be located in Vail Village and Lionshead, which this application continues to do. Town of Vail Page 5 Staff finds the proposed shed roofs on the first floor additions conform to the Vail Village Design Consideration, which states "Shed roofs are frequently used for small additions to larger buildings." Staff believes the proposed flat roof dormer does not conform to the Vail Village Design Considerations, which states, "The current expression, and objective, for roofs in the Village is to form a consistently unifying backdrop for the architecture and pedestrian streetscape, and to avoid roofs, which tend to stand out individually or distract visually from the overall character... Freestanding shed roofs, butterfly roofs and flat roofs can be found in the Village but they are -generally considered to be out of character and inappropriate." However, Staff believes the proposed flat roof dormer can be modified to match the dormer on the south elevation, which would then comply with the above design considerations. Staff finds this proposal does not require mitigation of employee housing. Accommodation units are assessed for employees per unit, and no new units are being added. The office and meeting room space are considered accessory to the lodge use, and thus, are not separately assessed employee housing. Staff believes that no further mitigation of development impacts should be required for this application because of the minor nature of the proposed changes, and the positive impacts of a larger AU in Vail Village. E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Staff believes that the proposal is in compliance with this criterion, as there are no natural or geologic hazards that need to be mitigated. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Staff believes the proposed additions are not responsive and sensitive to natural features and vegetation. While no trees need to be removed, landscaping is going to be removed. However, the removal of vegetation is mitigated on the north side with the existing evergreen trees that will block the addition. On the south side, the undevelopable open space directly adjacent to the property provides a natural buffer that allows the addition to remain sensitive to overall natural features. The office addition on the north side seems out of place and not compatible with the existing architecture, and thus, is not responsive to the overall aesthetic quality of the community and the building itself. G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. Town of Vail Page 6 Staff believes that this proposal complies with this criteria, as the circulation system that is designed for both vehicles and pedestrians will not be effected. H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. Staff believes that this application will affect landscaping, as it reduces landscaping by 180 square feet on the front (north) side of the building, and by 450 square feet on the rear (south) side of the building. Trees to be removed will be relocated on site. While landscaping is being reduced, it will have minimal impact on the optimization and preservation of natural features, recreation, views and functions. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. Staff believes that this criteria is not applicable, as there is no phasing plan or subdivision plan to be enacted as part of this project. VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based upon the review of the criteria described in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, Staff recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town Council for the applicant's request. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation for approval, with conditions, for this major amendment to a special development district, the Department of Community Development recommends the Commission pass the following motion: 'Based upon the review of the criteria described in Section Vll of the Staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated February 117 2013, and evidence and testimony presented at this hearing, the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town Council for the applicant's request for a major amendment to a Special Development District, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to amend Special Development District No. 37, Tivoli Lodge, to amend the approved development plan to increase gross residential floor area and site coverage and amend the approved setbacks, located at 386 Hanson Ranch Road/ Lot E, Block 2, Vail Village 5th Filing, and setting forth details in regard thereto. " Town of Vail Page 7 Should the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval of this application, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission pass the following conditions: 1. This approval does not include the office addition on the north elevation because this element of the proposal is not architecturally compatible with the structure. 2. The proposed flat dormer on the north elevation shall be amended to match the dormer on the south elevation. 3. The applicant shall receive permission from the adjacent property owner (Vail Associates) for access for construction in conjunction with any building permits. 4. Approval of an amendment to the SDD is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of the associated design review application." Should the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval of this application, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission make the following findings: 'Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section Vll of this Staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated February 117 2013, and the evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds.- 1. inds: 1. That the proposed major amendment to Special Development District No. 37, Tivoli Lodge, complies with the nine design criteria outlined in Section 12-9A- 8, Vail Town Code. 2. That the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission, based upon the testimony and evidence presented, that any adverse effects of the requested deviations from the development standards of the underlying zoning are outweighed by the public benefits provided. 3. That the request is consistent with the development goals and objectives of the Town." IX. ATTACHMENTS A. Vicinity Map B. Applicant's request C. Architectural Plans D.

S 10 A4 TO: Rachel Dimond Town of Vail Community Development FROM: William Reslock, Architect DATE: January 31, 2013 RE: Tivoli Lodge 386 Hanson Ranch Road REMODEL We are proposing various alterations to the existing Tivoli Lodge at 386 Hanson Ranch Road. This will be a major amendment to the existing SDD. We are proposing an addition to the existing Room 520, to create a three bedroom suite. This will be an addition of 1005 sf of finished space utilizing existing unfinished floor area. In order to achieve this, we will be adding two dormers to the existing roof as shown on Sheet A5.4 on either side of the ridge on the left side of the page. 2. On the hallway on Level 4, we propose a dormer addition to the north side. This addition utilizes existing attic storage space. The dormer design will help stop the shedding of ice and snow off the roof to the ground below. This is visible on Sheet A5.3. An office addition of 180 sf to the existing 200 sf office will create a larger administrative space of 380 sq which is greatly desired. This will result in an additional 180 sf of site coverage. The elevations on sheet A5.4 and A5.5 show the materials will match the existing building. 4. We are proposing an addition to the convention room of 450 sf with the existing 950 sf room. This will create a space of 1400 sf, which will greatly increase the hotel's ability to attract meeting and conferences during the fall, spring and summer. This will not result in any additional site coverage because it is located over the existing parking level. 5. Additional exterior improvements included four French balconies on the north side and six new French balconies on the south side to improve the existing room quality. There will also be three new patios outside of the existing rooms on the south side to improve quality. 017b?0103 `-1IVA 4 � .PAIL VALLEY Df21Vt— a o Qom JN1113 [ 13W 3JV11U111VA `Z 'x'19 1101 17 a 50' I2O.W- "PO oo`n�aJ` Qana 3niba unoad zesi. >>� 0 3is '� '4�'nN9N'd`d NOy-S7Nt/N/�98£ �o �✓a®1 o z 1 l0AIi.. 4 � .PAIL VALLEY Df21Vt— a a 50' I2O.W- z j 1W 9 0- I �m l o V0, a 1 I it � I i i I mj I I ED o _ — — — — — I I - q -1 I -I w B � � q 5 -; OL w , 1 � � 4 s a I I 1 I 1 I I I I bf Q a � z �laI `�oolsa� wzlplM OaV?JO1O9 `11V 0 V.I.V 9NIII3 N1313 3JVITA1 IVn `Z -`3 g `3 101 a 9L96 6£b080�nl`d N3N� NOSNVI/99f£ 34 ALfl0`dd ZQ51 •�•� `uenIII�S �,00lsa� ._ . � ] D (101 110 \ I1 I u ,n � � Q ,n z) I�. cel j �I _ I W eI x I 0 4 V � IY Y 1 ro IU � 7L/ i U u� �I Ifs{ �II __ 4 IIS I ml - w 1 i I ca it ! it II li mE �.E- imE I a R �. . ---------- _---- - p 1 1 I 1 _ I I I S-2 psi I I I ID i jl a �w sra . a I I I m i - _._._. _--------- I.._ I I 411 _ _ _.

(PEC120050) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Gregg Barrie Planner: Rachel Dimond I. SUMMARY The applicant, the Town of Vail, represented by Gregg Barrie, is requesting the following: • Conditional use permit for "public park and recreation facilities" at Sundial Plaza, including playground features, a climbing wall and a water feature with seating. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, and subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission: • Approves, with conditions, a conditional use permit for public park and recreation facilities at Sundial Plaza. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for public park and recreation facilities for a new park at Sundial Plaza with the following amenities: • Climbing wall • Three playground features • Water feature with seating • Engineered wood fiber playground surface (wood chips) • New vegetation to screen, shade and enhance the park • ADA access to playground area via ramp • Rerouted snowmelted stairway connecting the frontage road, First Chair Employee Housing and the pedestrian bridge to the Lionshead pedestrian area At the January 28, 2013 hearing, the PEC expressed concern about the playground surface, amount of shade from landscaping and green space. As a result, the playground surface was changed from rubber to engineered wood fiber. The landscape plan was amended to remove the ash trees and plant an increased number of aspen trees to create grove areas. The turf area in the northern seating area was enlarged. The planting areas were also enlarged to provide more landscaping to serve as a buffer between the park and the pedestrian areas around the park. III. BACKGROUND The subject property was a part of the original Town of Vail which became effective by the election of August 23, 1966, and the court order of August 26, 1966. In 2008, the Vail Town Council instructed Staff to locate and build a park in Lionshead. After examining all town -owned locations, Sundial Plaza was selected as the only adequate location for a public park. The Vail Town Council has approved funding for a park in Sundial Plaza as part of the 2013 Municipal Budget. On January 28, 2013, the Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval for amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan as follows: Additions are in bold; deletions are in stFikethm i. h 5.8.6 Plazas and Nodes Dynamic pedestrian plazas and nodes are encouraged at each significant intersection in the retail core. Successful plazas are those that have good sun exposure, that are located on primary pedestrian corridors, and that are properly proportioned to encourage seating, eating, gathering and events. Successful nodes are concentrations of activities, landmarks and spaces where people want to congregate. Focal elements such as fountains, landscaping, and public art help to give each node a unique identify and serve as visual reference points. A fundamental objective of the master plan is to introduce these qualities in the Lionshead core. The central Lionshead public plaza (shown in Figure 5-10) was previously considered to be at Sundial Plaza. However, the design of the Arrabelle incorporated an ice rink with surrounding retail and restaurant shifted the central Lionshead public plaza to the south. This allows for Sundial Plaza to be repurposed from a previously recommended infill building with an ice rink to a public park. Sundial Plaza serves as the only green space in the center of Lionshead. The pedestrian connection between the First Chair Employee Housing at the North Day Lot and the pedestrian mall through Sundial Plaza should be snowmelted and rerouted for optimal views (see Town of Vail Page 2 view corridor #4) and access. Sundial Plaza presents an opportunity for a public park in the Lionshead Retail Core and will provide a public recreational amenity to serve as a stand alone attraction and as an activity to compliment the retail and restaurant experience within Lionshead. 5ECONbARY PEDL•STRUN FLOW PATTEPN RYPSDMRSAH RE➢EVELOPEn CO PATfERT RETAM FACE MHOUN➢ P---4ZA Iq 'r r 1 Ir � MLR QC L@17i0 ! f- r RETli➢.

CRITERIA FOR REVIEW Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The Town has established development objectives including enhancing the livelihood of the commercial cores, as well as providing new experiences and options for guests. Another development objective is to create pedestrian connectivity into and within the commercial cores. A third objective is to provide park and recreation space throughout the town. The proposed park meets the above objectives. This public park furthers the vision of the Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan, where the community vision called for Vail to be a "premier mountain resort community... achieved through world-class recreational.. opportunities." The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan pedestrian circulation recommendations in Chapter 1 include the following: Develop, with public-private cooperation, two continuous pedestrian axes (north -south and east -west) through Lionshead. Create new walkways and plazas and replace deteriorated pavements. Install a snowmelt system in the Lionshead pedestrian mall. Create a new north Lionshead pedestrian portal in conjunction with development of a public transportation facility on the North Day Lot. The proposed public park and recreation facility, with a new snowmelted walkway connecting the North Day Lot to the pedestrian mall is clearly consistent with the above recommendations. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, facilities, utilities, schools, parks and facilities needs. distribution of population, transportation recreation facilities, and other public Staff believes the proposed park does not impact transportation facilities, utilities and schools. It does provide a much needed parks and recreation facility in Lionshead and will serve as a destination, thus potentially shifting pedestrians to this area. Further, the design will allow for continued light and air at the subject and surrounding properties, as there are limited structures and an abundance of green space in the location. The changes made to the park surface from rubber to wood chips, and the change from ash trees to a larger number of aspens will allow for a regulated amount of light and air which will keep the park cool in the summer. Town of Vail Page 7 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. Staff believes the proposed public park does not impact congestion, automotive safety, traffic flow and control, access and maneuverability. The proposed park does positively impact pedestrian safety and the removal of snow from the street, with the inclusion of a new snowmelted walkway from the North Day Lot to the pedestrian mall. Pedestrian convenience is improved with a straightened walkway with an improved visual connection to Vail Mountain from the North Day Lot. The improvements do not encroach into adopted View Corridor #10, which is a view to Vail Mountain from the top of the stairs adjacent to the North Day Lot. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Staff believes that the proposed public park will improve the character of the area by providing a playground that doubles as public art within the core of Lionshead. The park will provide free recreational amenities including playground equipment, a climbing wall and a water/fire feature with seating to the public that will be both a destination and an additional side activity to compliment the adjacent shopping, restaurants, the Gore Valley Trail, the ski yard, mini golf and activities on Vail Mountain. The scale and bulk of the playground structures, which include three elements roughly 15 feet tall, serves as a compliment to the varied architectural styles of the adjacent mixed use buildings. VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning an Environmental Commission approves, with conditions, a conditional use permit to allow for a public park and recreation facility at Sundial Plaza. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this conditional use permit request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission passes the following motion: "The Planning and Environmental Commission approves the request for a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses, Generally (On All Levels of a Building), Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of a public park and recreation facilities (playground) at Sundial Plaza located within the Lionshead pedestrian mall/Tract C, Lionshead 6t" Filing, and setting forth details in regard thereto." Town of Vail Page 8 Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this conditional use permit request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission requires the following conditions: "I. The associated Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan amendments shall be adopted by the Vail Town Council prior to construction of a public park and recreation facility. 2. This conditional use permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of the associated design review application." Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this conditional use permit request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes the following findings: 'Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of the Staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated February 117 2013, and the evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds: 1.

SUMMARY This update to the Town Council includes a status report of the Phase 1 Construction progress and schedule, the submittal to the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) of the Phase 2 Development Plan for Ford Park, and a request by the Vail Valley Foundation (VVF) to proceed through the Development Plan process. Attached are some general images representing the intent of the submittal that will be made to the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and subsequently the Design Review Board (DRB). Staff is requesting that the council comment on the content of the submittal rather than on the specific designs. II. BACKGROUND The Ford Park Management Plan Update was approved by the PEC on April 9, 2012 and adopted by resolution of the Town Council on April 17, 2012. The Ford Park Phase 1 Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit were approved by the PEC on May 21, 2012. The Ford Park Phase 1 Development Plan included items of the adopted Management Plan Update funded by Conference Center funds, RETT funds, and Vail Valley Foundation contributions. These include the following: 1. Athletic field realignment 2. New restroom/concession building 3. New restroom/maintenance building 4. Outfield retaining wall 5. Improvements to West Betty Ford Way 6. Improvements to East Betty Ford Way 7. Improvements to parking and drop areas 8. Lighting and electrical upgrades 9. Regrading of the lawn seating in the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater 10. New restrooms at the east gate of the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater Construction of Phase 1 improvements began on September 4, 2012 and is scheduled for completion on June 3, 2013. Phase 1 Improvements currently under construction include the following: 1. East Betty Ford Way retaining wall, widening and pavement upgrade 2. West Betty Ford Way pavement upgrade 3. East sport field restroom and concessions building 4. West sport field restroom and maintenance building 5. Outfield retaining wall 6. East Ford Amphitheater restroom 7. Ford Amphitheater lawn seating 8. Utility upgrades Phase 1 Improvements are on schedule for a May 31 st substantial completion date and a June 3rd completion. The restrooms are later than originally planned, but had 60-75 days of float in the schedule. The civil work, which was always the critical path remains the critical path, and is on target. III. FORD PARK PHASE 1 COMPLETION The remaining Phase 1 Improvements to be constructed beginning in September 2013 includes the following: 1. Sport field realignment (natural turf with synthetic infields) 2. Improvements to parking and drop areas 3. Trash and recycle building 4. Lighting and electrical upgrades Staff is working with the general contractor on a specific construction schedule for these items. Generally the improvements will begin immediately after Labor Day, 2013 and be completed by the beginning of June 2014. The sport fields will remain closed to ensure complete establishment of the sod until September 2014 depending on weather conditions. IV. FORD PARK PHASE 2 DEVELOPMENT PLAN MAKE-UP Staff and a team of consultants have begun preparations to submit the Ford Park Phase 2 Development on behalf of the Town Council as property owner. The Ford Park Phase 2 Development Plan includes items of the adopted Management Plan Update funded by Conference Center funds, RETT funds, and Vail Valley Foundation and Betty Ford Alpine Gardens contributions. These include the following: 1. Vail Valley Foundation a. GRFA Covered Social Courtyard b. GRFA Box Office Improvements c. Ford Family Tribute d. Improvements to Betty Ford Way e. Expanded garden spaces 2. Betty Ford Alpine Gardens Town of Vail Page 2 a. Education Center b. Gore Creek riparian restoration/interpretation 3. Town of Vail a. Replace and upgrade playground restroom and picnic shelter b. AIPP Summer and/or permanent exhibit spaces There are projects related to those discussed that could be part of the Ford Park lower bench efforts but are not currently in scope of work. The Council could provide direction in regards to the inclusion of these projects in the Development Plan. These include the following. 1. Improvement of AIPP cottage in coordination with Betty Ford Way enhancements. 2. Improvement of historical Picnic Shelter. 3. Historical interpretative signage associated with both above, and Ford Park history — ranch, etc. The design and construction of new entry portals to Ford Park are still anticipated and will be coordinated as a separate but concurrent project through the Art in Public Places program. The design of the portals will occur in 2013 with construction scheduled for 2014. Staff has scheduled a public open house for February 5, 2013 to inform the public and answer questions regarding the continuing improvements to Ford Park. The open house will be held in the Municipal Building hallway between the Town Council work session and regular meeting. V. VAIL VALLEY FOUNDATION REQUEST The VVF has been a partner in the improvements to Ford Park since the inception of the Conference Center Fund discussion. The VVF has raised funds and has committed to the construction of several of the improvements included in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Development Plans. These include the restroom, ticketing, and lawn seating improvements at the Ford Amphitheater as well as the design and construction of the new covered social courtyard and aesthetic improvements to Betty Ford Way. The improvements have been well vetted with the Council and the community. A question has arisen as to whether the VVF has requested or been granted permission by the Council to proceed through the Development Plan process with improvements on Town of Vail property. As a house keeping measure the VVF formally requests permission to design and construct the following Phase 2 Development Plan projects: 1. GRFA Covered Social Courtyard 2. GRFA Box Office Improvements 3. Ford Family Tribute 4. Improvements to Betty Ford Way 5. Expanded garden spaces Town of Vail Page 3 VI. FORD PARK SCHEDULE AND BUDGET Following is the anticipated overall schedule for design, approval and construction of the Ford Park Phase 2 Improvements.
